A represents a strong bracket to be bolted to the door frame or jamb asa support for the hinge, provided in its upper surface with a dovetailgroove a.

B is a pintle-block havinga dovetail tenon b, which fits in the saidgroove, but is made somewhat shorter than the groove, so that the blockmay be slid outward and inward, as represented in dotted line in Fig. 2,for a purpose hereinafter shown.
